I kind of feel like anyone that either says or implies that being apolitical is a good thing probably shouldn't be trusted.
Being apolitical is a political statement. By staying silent, you're complicit in the status quo. It means you either approve of the current state of things, or you don't care.
Anything that involves more than a few people is political, which is, like, everything. It is impossible to be apolitical. We are all connected by our shared humanity.
